We have been really happy with Little Elms, our son (now 18 months) has been attending the nursery 4 days a week for the past 6 months. All the staff are lovely, even staff in the other rooms know who he is, which is really reassuring when he moves up a class.
Wide variety of food and everything is
kept up to date on the app.

It's a fantastic nurturing nursery. The staff are sweet and caring and my boys love a cuddle when they arrive.
They have been here since September and settled in so well.
The only downside is the outside space but they don't seem to mind!

Our daughter absolutely loves going to nursery. She has been attending 4 days a week since the beginning of the year and we have watched her develop and grow amazing relationships with her friends and staff members. We feel confident that she is looked after, her needs attended to and her days jam-packed
with fun activities.
She enjoys it so much that we have had tears at pick-up because she wants to stay longer and show us everything she has done during the day, a sure sign that things are going well and that we made the right decision sending her to Little Elms Beckenham!

An amazing team that has me very reassured that my child’s safety is paramount!
The development I have seen in my son has been so good since the introduction of preschool lessons.
The staff here are very welcoming and attentive to the most delicate, to the most intricate of matters.
A sensational
team led by amazing management.
Keep up the great work guys.

Always been really happy with Little Elms Beckenham. We’ve had one child there for nearly three years now and another one about to start. Staff really friendly and knowledgeable at all levels, rooms well organised and tailored to their age, food great, activities lovely, resources kept updated and clean,
good outdoor space, good communication, great app for noting food/nappies/sleep/garden time. Our child has always been happy to go in because of the care and fun on offer. Big thumbs up!

Both my children have gone here since they were 7 months old! They have great opening times, good room leader and the kids are safe and happy. They provide weekly photos of what they are going, which always brightens your day! The menu is varied and my little ones eat everything and they provide x 2
snacks and 3 meals per day.

Our daughter started a few months ago and I cannot recommend Little Elms Daycare enough! I was quite anxious and emotional about leaving her, but the teachers in her room are just wonderful, so kind and thoughtful they made it a really supportive experience. They proactively updated me during her first
few days to say she was doing well, and are brilliant at updating the app so we can see what she’s been up to. She really loves it there and we enjoy going to pick her up and chatting with the teachers, a lovely place to be!

We are really happy to have our daughter at Little Elms. She took a while to settle but the staff have always been lovely and patient with her. She has now moved to the second baby room and is very confident to be left in the morning.
She loves to see the tortoises and is always doing a great range
of activities. We get good updates on the app and from staff when we pick her up in the evenings. The nursery is also open (outside bank holidays) throughout the Christmas period, which is a massive bonus!
Our daughter is very happy there and we feel affection and trust for the staff, peace of mind is priceless.

Our little boy joined only a month ago, always was very shy and nervous around strangers but now has totally come out his shell, loves all the creative play and speech has really improved. Couldn't of asked for more. Also eating way more variety than the chicken nugget diet he insists I feed him!! All
the careers have been so gentle with his nervous energy and update me on everything they know I worry about. Thank you Little Elms Daycare New Beckenham!

We really can’t fault the nursery at all! Our son couldn’t be happier and the staff are so lovely with him. He settled in really quickly and I’m sure this was because of how caring everyone was when he first joined. Great menu choice every day and lots of fun activities. All the staff are warm and friendly
and keep in regular touch about our son with updates throughout the day on the app or direct messages if they need to - fab place for our baby to be! A few staff changes since he’s been there and a few periods of unsettledness but current management is excellent! Garden is probably my least favourite part of the nursery but at least there is some outdoor space and it has lots of fun toys for the kids to play with.

We absolutely love this nursery for our daughter. Management and the staff in our daughter's room are fantastic and incredibly friendly. They are really enthusiastic and keep us up to date with everything that is going on and how she's been during the day. I also love that they take the children on
little outings when they can. The only downside is that it would be nice for the outdoor space to be a bit bigger but to be honest the children don't seem to notice!

After a few bumps and misunderstandings, I have been very happy with the service provided since the new management team came into place. They’ve shown nothing but professionalism and they are also interacting a lot more with the parents, for my part. My little girl went from being upset every morning
to being the happiest she has ever been so there’s been a massive positive change and now I can’t recommend them enough!!

Really happy with the nursery. It’s got a lovely feel to it - the building is always kept well presented and regularly maintained and painted, which I really like to see - it’s never grubby. Toys and resources are plentiful, there’s a lovely garden area that is very well used, and the staff are generally
lovely - warm, caring and kind: it’s a home-to-home feel. Food is cooked on-site and it always gets eaten, which is more than I can say for my cooking! My son has been there since he was nine months old and I’ve been so pleased with how happy he has been - he’s my third baby so I’ve got a bit of experience with childcare settings, and I think fairly realistic expectations - this nursery exceeds those.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5

I have had 2 children attend Little Elms, my son from 11 months to his school start at 4.5 and my daughter from 11 months to today (nearly 2). The best part about the nursery are the caring staff who are always nurturing, helpful and interested in the kids. This (and safety) are the most important
things to me and Little Elms excels (especially in the Baby rooms - which is so important to parents thinking through where to start their little ones).
There have been a few blips in management communication as there is moderate turnover but they are very responsive to issues and I've always felt heard.
The food provision is varied and nutritious, my kids have no food sensitivities so I can't speak to that.
The outdoor space is limited compared to some other local nurseries at this site, it is the biggest drawback I think - but the classes share it well and the staff are creative in using the space.
I would (and have) recommend this nursery to prospective parents.

After 4 years of our son being at this nursery, it is very sad to see it not be in his life any more. They have helped create a lovely, caring knowledgeable child who shows readiness for school from what they have helped teach him since being there. Staff are friendly and the place as a nice feel to
it. Would recommend.

I was really worried - to put it mildly - about putting my then 11 month old into nursery full time but the baby room staff couldn't have been any more warm and loving with him, so he settled well. All the babies are loved and respected, there is a lot of fun and the staff are very attentive to the
babies and happy to chat to parents about any tiny concern for as long as you like. Can"t recommend it enough.

Current Review Score: 9.1 (9.126)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.1 (9.126) out of 10 for Little Elms Daycare Nursery Beckenham Queens Road is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 7 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.3 out of 5 from 7 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.843 for Little Elms Daycare Nursery Beckenham Queens Road is calculated as follows: ( (73 Excellents x 5) + (7 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 83 Ratings = 4.843

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 4.283 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Little Elms Daycare Nursery Beckenham Queens Road is based on 7 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 3.7

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 60 number of registered child places is 12. 7 Positive Reviews ÷ 12 = 0.583

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
